This invention relates to cretainimprove-v ments in lipstick holders forcontaining lipstick and similar soft or pasty'cosmetics..

These lipsticks as now generally Produced include an outer casing havinga c osed end and an o to move 1n this casing is a `lipstick holder,provision being made whereb this holder can be protruded from andwithdrawn into the casing under conditions of use. In packagin thesecontainers it is desirable that the lipstick holders be held so that thecosmetic will not. be accidentally protruded against the cap, withliability of injury. It is further desirable that the holder be heldagainst backward movement when 1n use. so that the pressure exertedagainst the stick by the action of use will not force the stick holderback into the casing.

It is the especial object of the present 1nvention to provide a simpleconstruction by which accidental movement ofthe lipstick holder in itscasing, either while being shi ped or under conditions of use, iseiectua l prevented.

With this and other objects not specifically referred to in view, theinvention consists in certain novel parts, arrangements and combinationswhich will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings andthe novel `features pointed out 1n the claims hereunto annexed.

In these drawingsf Figure 1 is `a rsectional `side 'view of theyimproved lipstick holder, the vstick carrier being shown as withdrawn'in the casing;

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the stick protruded, and

Figure 3 is a view of the sleeve for operating the 'stick carrier,and-Fi re 4 is a detailed sectional `view showing t e relative positionof the parts of the casing.

Referring now to these drawings, there is provided a casing 1 having anend 2 which is closed by a head 3 'on a sleeve 4 which is rotatablymounted within the casing. Mounted to slide within the sleeve-4`is astick carrier in slot-7 in which engages a pin/Vor similar propen endclosed bya cap. Mounted nu sricx 1927. Serial No. 200,535.

jection 8 secured on the stick carrier, this slotA 7 extendingsubstantially the length of the sleeve. Cooperating with and outside theprevented from accidental longitudinal movement in the casing except bythe rotation of the sleeve. While the specific construction foreffecting this may be somewhat varied, as shown, the ends ofthe slot 7are formed with oppositely extendin recesses being forme at the ends ofthe slot. It will be observed that on the rotation of the rotatablesleeve 4 the pin 8, followin `the groove 10 in the sleeve 9, will beforce into` these notches or recesses 11 or 12. Thus, when the in is intherecess 11, as shown in Figure 1, t e parts are locked againstmovement so that the end of the lipstick does not contact with theclosing cap, indicated at 13, slidably mounted on the casing 1, and thusthere is no possibility of the lipstick becoming injured in transit.`When now the in en ages the notch 12 during use, the lipstick hol er isprevented from being forced back into the casin by the pressure due toits use.

%Vhi1e the invention has been shown and described in its preferred form,it will be understood that certain chan es and variations may be made inthe speci c construction vshown and described without delparting from eappended the combination of an outer casin a rotatable tube in thecasing having a longitudinal slot extending to points adjacent the endsof the recesses 11, 12, thesev tube, lockingl recesses at each end ofthe slot, l

a cosmetic' holder mounted in the tube having a projection riding'in theslot, aA sleeve inl the casing having a helical slot with whichtheprojectionengages and by vwhich it il 2 amen ilven a longitudinaltravel in the slot andis rected into the at opposite ends of its travel.

2. In a holder for cosmetics and the like, 5 the combination ofan outercasing, a rotatable tube in the casing having a longitudinal slotextending to points adjacent the ends of the tube, recesses at the endsof the slot extending in opposite directions and at an angle to theslot, a cosmetic cup mounted in the tube, a pin carried by the cu andriding in the slot, a sleeve in the casing avindg a helical slotextending from end to en of the sleeve, inA which the pin en and bywhich it' is 'ven a travel in t v e longitudinal slot and is irectedinto the at opposite ends of its travel.

3. In a holder for cosmeties'and the like, the combination of an outercasing, a tube in the casing having a longitudinal slot extending topoints adjacent the ends of the tube, recesses at each end of the slotdisposed at an angle thereto, a sleeve adj aoentthe tube having ahelical slot, said tube and sleeve beincapable of relative rotation anda cosmetic ho der mounted in the tube having` a rejection riding in theslots of the tube an sleeve by which the holder is dgiven a lo 'tudinaltravel in the casing an is direc into the w: at opposite ends of itatraveh In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
